Hamas used sexual violence as part of 'genocidal strategy', Israeli experts say

Israeli experts allege Hamas used sexual violence as part of a genocidal strategy during the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, according to a new report by The Dinah Project. The report calls for justice and outlines a legal blueprint for prosecuting these crimes, despite challenges in directly attributing them to individual perpetrators. The group's findings are based on first-hand testimonies, witness accounts, and evidence suggesting conflict-related sexual violence occurred during the attack, including rape and sexualized torture. The report aims to establish justice for victims and sets a precedent for prosecuting similar crimes in conflict zones.
